the new dugouts

[true believer]

well my view is now restricted to being able to watch half a field of football .
our long time neighbor's left at half time .

the dogouts need to come back as far as they can to the fence.


i won't be sitting there next year . i believe this issue will cost CCM , members .

I'd say that because of the weather they decided to put the cover over the seats, usually they are down if I'm not mistaken?

In saying that it's not like we fill the stadium every week, could always come over to the eastern stand and enjoy unrestricted views (just bring a hat and sunnies )

 

[Big Al]

Yeah small proportion of my view blocked but if I was worried I'd just move seats, plenty to choose from. I know we all get attached to them.

Might be just a matter of moving a couple of rows back and asking the club what's around in your area to move.

Saw a bunch of guys go sit behind the Roar dugout and most couldn't care but one was like WTF before he even sat down. Although I thought the area they were in was designated for away fans

Worst part was I didn't really notice Aloisi so couldn't give him crap. Hope that doesn't happen when Arnie and Muscat are in town

 

[pjennings]

Apparently if it is raining the covers must be on or the club will be fined. When we own or control the stadium we can make them real 'dugouts' and we will get our view back

They aren't "new", they've been there a season and a half. When the lead-up weather is poor like it was on Saturday, the FFA make a call, not the club. It sucks (and is an issue for several clubs) but doesn't happen often throughout the season.

One more upside to getting the stadium.

I figure they're the thing that kept my stay "Gold" when the sides were "upgraded" and i can still see so i guess I'm not complaining ;-)

we are in gold seats that have the worst view in the ground ,now .

Could always just move up a bit in the bay. Gives a bit better view.

 

[true believer]

I'll ask but . I doubt there is 4 open seats .
And we're getting the boyz mates to games so we always had 5.
I'd go to bay 16 . But the teenager might kill someone and that might be me

 

[dibo]

They only have them on rainy days.

@true believer the only reason they were up is because of the inclement weather leading up to the game - on average this is 2-3 games out of 11-12 a season.

 

[true believer]

They only have them on rainy days.

So 80 % of games .

 

[tim...]

Whatever the ratio was last season? Literally nothing has changed from last season.

Not sure why this is such a big deal, just unfortunate that it was for the opening game of the season.

We barely ever had them there last year.

Spoil yourselves and buy platinum, the lobsters and champagne are very good.

They were up pre-game for one game last season. They had a hopeful weather forecast and by the start of the game all was clear.

You forgot prawn sandwiches.

they weren't used last year .when i was there (i missed the perth game)
but that has nothing to do with the introduced obstruction of vision when their , there as like last week .
i'd suggest you cast your graze over the now empty seats in bay 7 . then have a bit of a contemplation
of where those people are .

 

[tim...]

They were used at least twice last year.
